Little League isn't perfect, but what great memories it provided for so many of us. Thanks Mr. Stotz.

In the early 1960s I remember my little town would have a parade down the street by the ballpark for the start of the L.L. season. Hot dogs were sold, pennants and flags waved it was like the whole town turned out and it was a big deal. Nice memories.

What the article doesn't mention is that little league is almost totally dependent on volunteers. Parents contribute money and time. They buy equipment and drive the kids to practices and games. Not to mention the times dads spend throwing the ball around with their kids in the backyard.
Little league is a great opportunity for parents to get together. I coached little league for several seasons. I met so many great people and enjoyed the experience. My daughter played little league softball and played softball in high school.
There is nothing like being out on a summer week night when you have to get up early the next day. Swatting mosquitoes, coaching and cheering on the kids.

If it hasn't happened already a Federal judge in San Francisco will order that the Bay Area Transgendereds be allowed to compete for to deny them the right would be to “marginalize the most vulnerable among us”.
